Answer to Question 1

B, D, E
Barrier precautions refer to the use of personal protective equipment (e.g., gowns, gloves) to minimize risk of exposure to blood and body fluids by creating a barrier between the person and the microorganism and preventing transmission of the microorganism. When client care equipment is soiled with blood, body fluids, secretions, or excretions, nurses can avoid contaminating their skin, mucous membranes, and clothing by careful handling or disposal of the equipment. The hospital must use adequate environmental control procedures for routine care, cleaning, and disinfection of surfaces such as beds and bedside equipment.

A
Dorothea Dix was appointed as Superintendent of the Female Nurses of the Army in 1861 and was the first woman to be appointed to an administrative position by the federal government. Her recruitment efforts procured more than 2,000 women to care for the sick in the Union Army.
